    So, is there any chance that Eric isn't really dead?

  2. What did I just watch? Not only did True Blood jump six months ahead, it also jumped a shark during the process.

  3. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? !?! ERIC? The whole love story is between HIM and Sookie. Unless there is a major game changer in the first episode of next season, I'm out as a viewer.

  4. Seriously....this was a filler worthy trash episode we got fed. After years of a system that true blood maintained with accurate time lines and appropriate finales, this was a rushed hot mess "finale". The ending song was better than this fast forward generic nonsense me and my friends sat thru. Thanks for ending the episode shorter than normal and cutting us loose. You dragged the ep out so horribly, who the hell cares about what they did less than a year later? Eric.....Pam....hell, Terry had more of a focus than these characters holding more importance. On behalf of my friends, whom have gathered to rant about their frustrations and disappointment, next season first episode better be so amazing that we will forget you even robbed us of two episodes and an appropriate finale.

  6. Not only I think killing Eric off is an awfull and piontless idea but I'm offended they would kill him in such a ridiculous and careless way. This episode was so bad I can't even be angry I just pitty the poor men who chose this turn in the story because I honestly think they are way too close to loosing us all as viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Well that was a bit of a game changer...and I was surprised to find at the end that I actually really liked it!


    Firstly, the Warlow/Sookie thing was tied up nicely, and it was nice, if a bit abrupt, to see Niall return.


    Then there was the time jump, which brought many changes, some good, some not so good:


    The good:
    - Everyone seems to be back together, focused on one storyline, which the show sorely needs.
    - Jessica finally got something meaningful to do in her scene with Andy and Adilyn.
    - Tara and her mother reconnected, which will hopefully bring Tara back into the fold in Bon Temps a bit more next season - particularly with Lafayette, Sam and Sookie.
    - The Hep V vamps could be an interesting threat to deal with next season, although I'm not sure how long they can stretch it out.
    - Alcide and Sookie could be interesting. Could be.




    The not so good:
    - Alcide and Sookie could be awful. Could be.
    - Bill's book.
    - Merlotte's being renamed Bellefleur's - I get it, Arlene was the only one who really worked there but I really wanted Sam to go back to just being the bar-owner, and this pushes him further away from that.
    - Sam as the mayor and Nicole still being alive - the mayor plot could be the new werewolves story next season, and as for Nicole - sorry girl, but no matter how many episodes you hang around without any dialogue attempting to be unoffensive, it won't make me like you!
    - Lafayette sidelined AGAIN. This will hopefully be resolved next season though.


    Undecided:
    - Jason and Violet - I hope this isn't the new Jason and werepanthers storyline, but I'll reserve judgement for now as Violet seems kinda interesting in a crazy way.


    And then there was ERIC - I'm 99% certain he's not dead, and this is just the writers attempting to give us a bit of mystery plus possibly Alexander Skarsgard is still in negotiations to return, plus there has to be some significance to Pam going away to save him. The people claiming they're 'done' with the show just because of this should at least see how it pans out first - because while I'm quite sure he's not dead, even if they do kill him off, it will be with a lot more focus and importance than that 30 second scene. I'm not an Eric fanatic, but he definitely deserves more than Terry.


    All in all, decent episode with some big flaws - but ultimately, it recharged the show and set the scene for an exciting, if different, new season. Time jumps are tricky - (in my opinion) it worked with season 4, but it could easily go the other way next year!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I don't think Eric is dead, i think Pam saved him in time. i really don't know how, but this is True Blood, so...you really never know. I just don't think he's dead.

    ReplyDelete
  9. To everyone confused about the deaths: You NEED to watch the Inside The Episode on HBO's website!
    It's 100% sure Eric is dead, they even talk about him in past tense! And all of the changes... I'm still speechless... And honestly, I think that Pam is dead too, she clearly isn't anywhere around and Tara and Willa being so close imho implies that they are all that's left from their vampire family.
    This episode is so crazy that I even... wow, just wow.


    P.S: They also kinda gave away in the video that one of the main storylines for the next season is gonna be the love triangle between Sookie, Alcide and Bill... And that Alcide and Sookie won't last so you can imagine where this is going... Too. Much. Changes. At. Once.
    *officially dead*

  10. No they aren't and its not trash
    Alex wanted to leave he's doing more movies.

    I knew that Eric's death would be happening him flying off towards the sun was a a sign that he was going to die

    Eric was never the same are losing nora

    ReplyDelete
  11. He's dead he burned up

    ReplyDelete
  12. Eric is dead he burned up we all saw it. No way he can come back the sun burned him up

    .If the episode had ended after Erik's ''dead'' I would say he is 95% dead but now I think someone saved him. Mayby Pam but she would burn too. .I think Tara's mom know's she's infected and fed her daughter to ''save'' her because that woman is just plain nuts. I like Sookie dating Alcide because it's a simple relationship compared to her previus relationships, they sucked large and where not simple. But mostly it's because when she ends up with Erik it's because it's a choise not because it's the way her life keeps trowing her towards vamps. .If Ben had not turned in to a jerk I would have been sad when he died, to me it looked like something to do to kill him off. Oh and I like the ''zombie'' vamps it give's a new direction but if that direction suck they can find a cure or kill them off. I think it's kind of inpressif how they maneged to bring Bill back from being Billit. (that name sucks by the way) Arlene rocks but I hope she will be oke. .sorry for my not so good englisch and random placment of subjects it's almost morning. .

    How about the fact that Terry had a grand goodbye and erik non. Erik is to much a mayor carracter to die with a poof bye.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Sarah van Binnebeke19 August 2013 at 04:18

    Pam told Tara to watch out for Willa so....

    ReplyDelete
  16. I hope there's a good answer for that but him comming back after being burned would need a damm good explanation as well

    ReplyDelete
  17. Well I will never be buying HBO Ever again. After the way Charlene ended her books, I had a feeling they would do something like this. That is why I did not waste my money on buying HBO this year. I am really glad, I made that choice. Charlene and HBO do not deserve my money. Thank god for fanfiction.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Great episode. Loved that Jason was the one to kill Warlow. After all the discussion about him being weak willed and not a true power like his sister. the fact he got to keep his promise and kill Warlow was great.



    To Eric dying: Its the way I always expected him to die .In his Homeland and alone. He's never needed other people around to be content. It may shock a lot of people but I think its a fitting end if Indeed it is the end

    ReplyDelete
  19. Even if he wanted to leave he's no extra, he should have had a better exit

    ReplyDelete
  20. We saw Eric burning, we did not see him finish burning. For all we know he could have had a burst of energy and dug a deep hole in the snow, or maybe Pam got to him and threw this both in a hole in the snow. She would burn slower because she's younger.

    ReplyDelete
  21. What was that? Did the writers brains went on holiday after the first half...ok,i admit it seemed that it was gone most of the episode. Idk about you guys,but my mood changed pretty fast from excited for the finale in confused and annoyed.
    I sort of expected it to be different and i'm curious what they're planning to do next season after so much changes.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I have seen that, and it's typical writers' manipulation. Of course they're going to make it seem like he's dead, just so they can pull the rug from under us at the last second. Remember Tara at the end of season 4?

    Calling it now by the way - episode 1 of season 7 will end, showing Pam and Eric alive for 2 seconds before the end credits! Or Sookie will answer a knock at the door, and - SHOCK HORROR! - it's a naked Eric!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I don't know but I deffinitely love the idea

    ReplyDelete
  24. Eric is NOT dead. Everyone who had any idea of what the blood was (especially Eric/Bill) knew it would run out. Is everyone really going to believe Eric would leave himself without any "outs" ?! If I am truly naive to how stupid writers can be for such a popular show, yeah, more than likely I'm done with the show too. But as of now, I don't see how anyone can think Eric is really dead... unless there's some suicide watch Eric was on that I wasn't aware of...

    ReplyDelete
  25. Alone and in his homeland is one thing, sunbathing and reading a magazine before burning in a minute is an extra's death not a main character's one

    ReplyDelete

    They will find a way for awesome to win the same way they did for Warlow to win the suitor polls. I can't freaking believe that Eric's life did not matter and Bill's, Sarah's, and Jessica's did. I can't believe that Sookie did not know he saved her brother or what he did to contribute to free the vampires from vamp camp. I cannot believe that Bill is looking like a saint and Sookie is still giving him goo goo eyes, just PATHETIC. I guess as Alexander Skarsgard fans we didn't matter when it came to Eric and Sookie. If Alexander wanted out of the show they could have given him a better send off and left him in Sweden on top of the mountain, they could have at least left him a day walker. Terry got the send off of the year and Eric gets burned and Sookie is on her way back to Bill, WOW!!!!!! AB, CH, and BB really had a laugh on the account of Eric and Sookie fans at least CH gave us a little relationship time with them trying to make it work. Alcide and Bill the triangle for next year. I am not watching that crap.

    ReplyDelete
  27. He will be back next season but not until mid season. The rumor along with the rumor for what happened tonight has been around for a while. And yes he is making films.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't think that's a good enough explanation for survival but I guess I'd take it just to keep seeing Eric on TB

    ReplyDelete
  29. He did not turn to goo, that is what happens after burning the goo. There wan't any.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm with you on most of it but I'll probably watch the first espisode of the next season because I'm really hoping they'll win me back somehow

    ReplyDelete
  31. Eric burned, yes. The camera panned out as he fell on his knees and turned black. I believe what we will see is Pam in flames as well, it all happened at the same time fly into Eric with such momentum that they are both driven underground, to heal. He did not turn to goo, which is what happens when they die unless they are ancient like Godric, and Eric was not as old as Godric.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I saw that, and I'm still not convinced.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hope he survives

    ReplyDelete
  34. true Blood has never been a 'normal' show: people die in oddball ways. This is one.

    ReplyDelete
  35. why would anyone think eric is dead. Eric's scene was completely useless, only serving to Make the viewer
    think "OMGGGG HE DIED" before having him appear next season with Pam
    having saved him (though that's sort of impossible, since she will have
    burned, too, so it will probably be some dumb bullshit like Eric digging
    himself into the snow to extinguish the flames and heal himself until
    night falls

    ReplyDelete
  36. For me was great episode, I think one of my favorite season finales. I think Eric is not dead, I think they clear the storylines pretty well and the game changer was effective too. I like Sookie with Alcide, I like Jess try to protect Andy and his daughter (by the way Andy character beeing a father grown on me episode after episode), I like Jason killing Warlow with Grandpa help him. I like Bill back to normal. Season six was very good for me.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think it shows a lack of respect for viewers, odd is not the same as ridiculous

    ReplyDelete
  38. You are right, Tara's mom would do something like that. But her preacher husband seemed to be behind Sam's idea - so for now, I think she is safe. About the zombie vamps - Nora seemed to die within days and lose a lot of strength within hours - if it is such an epidemic, wouldn't the vamps' threat be minimal?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ok if Eric Northman really met the True Death then I won't plan on watching season 7.
    Not to mention if Alexander Skarsgard wanted off the show that was a cheap way out...

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm confused... First they end the season 2 episodes early and now this whole Hep V thing is a thing?! Nora didn't last very long when she was infected nor did she have much strength. I don't think I like where this storyline is going. I could have done without the time jump.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I totally agree with you .....this was a horrible finale .....Eric will be back ...but man Sookie is a stupid character man and this Alcide and Sookie relationship is not interesting and now looks like Bill and her will be getting together by the season 7 sometime...I am very disappointed in where the show is heading

    ReplyDelete
  42. Please tell me they did not seriously kill Eric!!!!! You can not do that, he's the best of all!!!! Now we have to wait a year to find out what the hell happened!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ok, I did NOT like that whole 6 month Jump, and the outcome of it...Alcide/Sookie....Hell fucking no!! Bill wanting to give her protection again....hell fucking no!!! I still don't like Jason's vamp, (I could dare less about her name, cuz she's that much of a waste to me. And WHERE THE FUCK IS PAM AND PLEASE GOD DON'T LET ERIC BE DEAD!!! I mean seriously has no one noticed they are gone??? Tara would've felt something if Pam were calling her. But really has no one noticed Eric is missing?? Everyone was all La di fucking da about this?? What happened to Grandpa?? And i feel like Tara's mom, idk, could've have Hep V in here, despite all the blood test. I just didn't like that scene and it made me paranoid!! Eric needs to be back, and might i add, before he "disappeared in burning flames" It was nice to get an actual clip of Eric Jr...I'm just saying. lol But omg...I'm disappointed, but I am ECSTATIC that Warlow is gone!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nora was injected with a massive amount of pure hep V, others are getting it from a little in Tru Blood or from infected people.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Here here to TVD returning!! This season disappointed me very much so.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I hope next season the writers pull a Dallas and reveal the time jump was just a dream.


    Eric is not dead, if they wanted him dead they would have showed him exploding into blood, like they did with Warlow. Pam probably saved him. If here's really dead I'm going to be devastated.


    James can sing! That's pretty much the only thing I liked in the second half of the episode.

    ReplyDelete
  47. True Blood is gonna end before its time because of whining bimbos like you, who can't take a change in a show's course. It was a great, eventful episode that brought something new to the show and we're supposed to appreciate it, cause it's GOOD. Where were those bitching retards on the GoT boring and pointless as fuck season finale, huh?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yeah, I really doubt he died.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Nora was injected with pure Hep V, maybe even concentrated; I think that accounts for her quick demise.

    ReplyDelete
  50. lol at TVD being a real vampire show; honey please.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Of course Eric is not dead people; next season we are going to have Phantom Of the Opera Eric, half burned and tended by Pam. Oh the angst.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I will definitely be outnumbered with this idea, but killing off Eric is very courageous step. Killing off a fa favourite is always tricky, but as Joss Whedon would point out, "it´s not what we want, it´s what we need."
    The character has gone really everywhere. Bad ass, brainwashed, childlike, sorta goodguy. What else could you do with the character? Turn him a fairy? Please not.
    The only thing I would have bothered if they would´ve killed him off and the actor would have wanted to stay but here it seems that creatively and contractually everyone seems to be glad at the production.
    For all the haters, calm down. The show wasn´t just Eric, nor any other specific character (except Sookie maybe).

    ReplyDelete
  53. I´m curious now. What´s the rumor?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yeah... I don't think True Blood could pull off a Whedon and kill of a fan favorite without getting scolded. In fact, I don't think this clusterfuck of characters could pull of anything whedon-like, ever.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Agreed. We did not see him deteriorate all the way down. (and he was in snow for crying out loud!XD)

    ReplyDelete
  56. True, but I don´t compare the shows. I just wanted to stress out, that killing off a fan favourite isn´t necessarily something bad for a show.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Well, I have mixed feelings on this one.


    Keen on:
    -Niall came back to the rescue
    -Violet, despite her one-sided love affair, seems to really want to help and know Jason.
    -Sookie didn't waste her light
    -Pam went to look for Eric (which considering he didn't deteriorate down to goo, probably means there's a good chance he survived somehow.
    - A more nurturing Bill
    -Sarah Newlin did not die. She's still at large.
    -Andy and Jason team up.
    -Arlene used the money to create her own restaurant (interested to see how she'll manage it)
    - Outside of Eric and Warlow, none of the other Vamps died. (Yay for Willa!!)








    Not so keen on:
    -Sookie and Alcede. Seriously, it didn't matter that he let his pack murder a bunch of young people and put Emma through unnecessary hoops?!
    -How could six months change Sam's perspective on Vamps like this? I know there is reason to consider it, but I felt like "con man sam" was up at that podium.
    -The way Lilith and Warlow just instantly went away, especially Lillith...(it seemed more vital than it was. Maybe she'll return at a wierd time??)
    - Revern & Tara's mom story line (I hope she doesn't have Hep V! I wish Tara would have done her homework first
    -No one was made a faery vampire!


    On the fence:
    -Zombie Vampires. I generally like the walking dead and some idea, but I don't know about it as the main antagonizing thing for season 7. I'm hoping there is something else on the rise with it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Again, we did not see him turn to goo and he was on snow-covered mountains. I don't think he's dead, nor do I think the writers would write his actual ends like that. I'm hoping his survival might bring something new outside the Zombie Vampire story line...

    ReplyDelete
  59. They might make us sweat Eric out a bit. I've read rumors (and I see others have mentioned them also) that AS may come back more towards the middle of season.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't think that is TB's style, but I think character deaths can be effective. I don't know what Eric's story would be, but honestly besides humans needing to pair up with vamps to survive the zombie-vamp-apocalypse doesn't sound too appealing to me as central idea of season 7 for any of them. So I hope there are other things coming a long with it.


    IMO Eric's story is not resolved and IMO if you're gonna kill a character, you should at least work in the episode of said death to resolve it, not just whip out a tazer and set it from stun to kill and expect people to be happy about it. Eric is not a red shirt.


    We didn't see him get gooey. So I'm sure he's not dead anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  61. It is when you do it tastelessly and for no good reason.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yeah what's the rumor? That he left to do more film? I'm so fucking mad right now. Even if he wanted to leave there were so many better ways to handle his (suppposed) death...

    ReplyDelete
  63. I don't think that he's dead. Maybe Pam saved him...

    ReplyDelete
  64. Lol you seeem so intellectual, thank you for that comment you flamer. Great name to choose also. To respond to your clearly simplistic idiodic post, which surely I tapped a nerve in you for you to waste your precious seconds you could've masterbated to rewatching last nights finale, It's the opinion I'm entitled to have. Sorry I don't have the brain of a pea to be satisfied with the way the episode was carried out. We always have a flow of events in case you haven't noticed, and when major characters are being put on the back burner and given 30 seconds to see off, please, cut the fluff and do the job viewers expected. If Anna didn't get pregnant, congrats for her BTW, there would be a different route to the finale. So take your judge mental view on an opinion shared by many, and continue to live in your box of a life wanking off to television series so that you don't procreate and spawn children as equally minuscule minded and tawdry such as yourself. Troll.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Well, this season was action-packed but I don't think they ended it in a right way. There was so much building up about Lilith, so many talks about it, so many questions about Bill and what he is and boom... episode nine was a boring Terry-centric episode, where she could go with whole storyline about Lilith, what she made, who she was, how she affected Bill etcetera, but no - instead we received boring funeral... Well, whatever. But episode ten was even worse because... ye, Eric got killed. I don't really believe in his death, but if he really did, then I hope for everything that season 7 will be the last and If not then I will quit this show forever.




    All in all - I really liked this season, but I'm disappointed by the ending. It just didn't seem right and I'm not enjoying whole Vampire-Zombies storyline, but well, we will see.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I agree. I think not fleshing out Lilith a bit more was my biggest disappointment, but I think because we really don't know much of anything about her actual agenda in relation to what Bill did or didn't do, I think the door is open for Lilith (or perhas I should say Billth) to return unexpectedly.


    I think the Zombie-Vampire story line will get boring fast if it's the main story. I'm hoping we get either more Wiccan, other wares (ware tigers please), demons, or something mythological that we just haven't seen yet, let a lone what ever will happen with all that vamp research and Sarah Newlin. I'm hopeful it isn't all as black and white as the finale made it all seem. I guess we'll see! :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. He'll probably be back to explain the death and a tribute like Terry?

    ReplyDelete
  68. 1. I don't think Eric's dead anyways.
    2. Even lets say that he is, or could be, fans are aloud to express their disappointment, especially in this case, because of the way they chose to do it.
    agree with Erika that in a lot of ways it felt like a filler or a set up episode and that parts of it dragged out, while other parts were quickly resolved to a point of know explanation.
    3. It remains to be seen if this is something new and if what this is something good, because again there isn't a lot of resolution in terms of the purpose of what happened this season.
    4. Game of Thrones stylistically chooses to end their seasons like that, where really the finale is more like second to last episode, and the new story line for the next season is introduced in the finale. Perhaps TB is doing that. Person of Interest also sort of just did this. It's becoming a more common practice. Personally I like finale's that have some resolution, but also introduce something and leave us on a cliff hanger.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I don't mind the time jump. I liked it when they did it in season 4. It took a couple of episodes to figure out what everyone had done in the year that Sookie was gone and that helped set the tone of the season. Speaking of that, the Vampre Zombie 'walking dead dead' Idea is similar to the day the spirits rose at the end of season 4, so maybe season 7 will have season 4 parrallels--get back to some of the wiccan stuff?!


    I agree it was a strange finale, but until I see the beginnings of the next season to see if this turn over is truly black and white and if the zombies are the only big thing we're dealing with, I won't really be able to know how bad the finale is/was.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I feel like the TB writers pulled a really bad CH on Eric.

    ReplyDelete
  71. He didn't turn to goo! In theory he could have burred himself in the snow,...


    Coming to think of it, I don't think we saw Pam react to sun like the others!! Maybe she is now the chosen one?! I had wondered if Lilith just took back her power and chose a new host through Bill's blood transference?? if so, she might have been able to save Eric!

    ReplyDelete
  72. So Eric pulled a Lestat. How original.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Thanks so much for replying :) I agree with you as well, in fact, I do feel the episode carried a ton of closure that was much needed, regardless of how abrupt it was shown. Sookie surely seems happy with Alcide, but the way she wiggled her toes playfully with baited glittery eyes and semi quivering lips as she watched Bill on TV, for what's more than one occasion as Alcide confirms, gave insight that she's still stuck on him no matter what her mouth may say about him out loud. I can't say I'm not awaiting the turnout to Taras mother feeding her, because the question "is she a carrier?" does come to mind. Jessica has shown she's trying to make up for that sad night of weakness. Violet seemingly has Jason on a committed leash, which is also a shock. Violet has been given more character besides the one we were only left with as domineering. Even her clothing is a statement of her being more than just controlling. All these things were great, for the beginning of a new season IMO lol. The episode was enough to close with, and enough to make us want to see the first ep to air next year, but it can't be denied that there's a lot more explaining to do bahaha.

    Does anyone know what book Eric was reading? Also, @DarthLocke4, I don't think Eric is dead either. Unlike Godric, he seemed shocked to be burning, and screaming no doesn't make me think he intentionally went to the top of a mountain just to die at a random time.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I just realised something odd. No one in here mentioned the fact that we were able to see a certain body part of Eric.
    Idk about you guy's but i barely noticed it cuz all i could think about was NO! Eric don't burn...don't die!

    ReplyDelete
  75. A-W-F-U-L. If people are saying that Supernatural should've ended a long time ago then I didn't how to describe how badTrue Blood has become.

  76. Sarah van Binnebeke19 August 2013 at 18:51

    I think she maried him to be the preacher's wife, not because of love and respect. so as long as nobody knows what she did she would still be an important public figures wife. but they managed to make tara fun to watch so maybe it's a way for sookie to have a reason to look for a cure. fairy style?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Idk about the book cuz i can't see it clearly. All i can see is that it could be a german book cuz the title seems to start with a "die" or "der" . Sorry,that this isn't much help.
    Maybe you can see more.

  78. Snow people... He could bury himself in the snow.. plus Pam was looking for him she could save him.. it was left without showing him full die for a reason.

    ReplyDelete
  79. There have been many references before to the cast being on a 7 Year contract that would include AS. Most seasons of True Blood end with more then one cliff hanger.. no Pam after she went to find him. The behind the scenes clip says eric has no choice then to burn... not die.

    ReplyDelete
  80. yeah curious too! I'm torn about Eric's scene. On the one hand I'm sure he's not dead since we did not see him turn to goo. But on the other I wonder if the showrunner didn't completely show his death to keep the fans waiting and having them watch the first episode...

  81. I thought it had to do with how the fast the strain was mutating per that news report or whatever

  82. I think it was a Swedish book.

    ReplyDelete
  83. First of all thanks for the closer picture.
    Second..i think i have to agree with you. :) Cuz the words look rather swedish than german. Especially the second word in the title and the authors name.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Good point, I didn't think about it that way.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I agree with marrying him to be a preacher's wife. And I can see using Tara as a way for Sookie to look for a cure . . . but I really hope that they don't. There should only be so much power a little ball of light from a part fairy can do (in the books she was 1/4 fairy, TV that is even more diluted. )

  86. Thanks so much raven and misses :) with that I googled and found this link, which tells what the books name is, from 1912 http://www.ibtimes.com/true-blood-season-6-spoilers-what-book-was-eric-reading-season-finale-episode-10-radioactive-1390817

  87. And Pam has left previously to look for Eric She also Will Be burning when she finds him but they will live

    ReplyDelete
  88. First: I don't believe Eric is dead. He is one of the best characters on the show and I refuse to believe that he is dead. So all my comments and opinions on the episode are based on the notion that they didn't actually kill him off.


    Second: The Warlow storyline had a number of problems, such as it being very anticlimatic both with the way he was killed off (too easily) and with the way he suddenly went bad after looking like a great guy all season long and even revealing that Sookie's parents were the bad guys after all. I think they could have made him walk away instead but whatevs, it didn't bother me as much as it bothered other people.


    Third: Everything else in the episode... PURE AWESOME! Seriously like, I am afraid of even start to read whatever it is below this comment because it will read awful awful and awful but I adored everything about it. IT WAS A COHESIVE, SINGLE FLOWING STORYLINE THAT TIED ALL THE POINTS OF THE SEASON TOGETHER, which is what we have all be wanting from True Blood for I don't know how many seasons now. I think the 6 month jump and all the changes (Sookie-Alcide, Bill, Jessica-Andy, Tara-Willa, Arlene) made a lot of sense, were proper conclusions for their storylines and were foreshadowed (the only one that seemed to come a bit out of the air for me was Sam, but even that we could somehow refer back to the beginning of the season with Nicole arguing for finding a way to get world's peace and all). Besides, I think it implemented a lot of changes on the show's setup which were long needed. I really loved it. Also, props for the Jason storyline, really fun one. I also have to add that after seasons of having Andy being the worst character ever for basically him having nothing to do with what was going on in the (interesting) part of the show, they've done a brilliant job of integrating him this year. And I like Adalynd.


    Forth: Awesome cliff hanger, can't wait for it.


    (Again, if Eric is dead I will have to wait the episode, but I just don't believe that is what they will do)

    ReplyDelete
  89. I think this was my favorite season of True Blood to be very honest or at least one of the best. Certainly better than anything we've seen on season 4 or 5. Season 1 was good but it was not very high stakes and certainly not enough Eric and Jessica and too much Bill. Season 2 was cool but it was when they started being unable to integrate the storylines (which they did better this year IMO), and I hated what they did with Jason that year - still, a pretty good year, one of my favorite ones. Season 3 was also awesome with Russel and the werewolves introduction but it was when they really lost with it having a million storylines going at the same time and Tara was at her worst back then. To each his own

    ReplyDelete
  90. Ahah I don't think anyone can get shocked with how much nudity we get on the show anymore even though that's a first yeah. BTW, I actually think that they've toned it down this year, or is it just my impression?

    ReplyDelete
  91. I respectfully disagree. I think Lilith's has been covered and her intentions were clear. She made Bill her pawn so that he could save the vampire's race from extinction, which he did. Remember, even though technically Bill only saved the handful of vampires that were in that room and Eric saved all the others, the only reason Eric got to Warlow was through Bill, hence Lilith. I don't think I would like to know more of her, not sure what more there is to know actually. I liked the conclusion of the "power being gone once the purpose is met" kind of thing.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Thank you for the link! The book synopsis is interesting. (nearly similar to Eric and Sookie's story)

    ReplyDelete
  93. If I may address them:
    - I generally agree with your keen points, except for Niall conveniently coming back to the rescue. It was too easy and a bit anti climatic that it was so easy to get rid of him after all. But I don't have a major problem with it.
    - I think Sookie and Alcide make 100% sense. He's playing the role of her "Sam" basically, hence the scene we got in 6x08. The point, IMO, is that Sookie herself feels that she has done a lot of wrong throughout these adventures of hers, so I doubt she would be able to take a complete "clean" men. And Alcide's storylines with Sam in the end and his father was about redemption and letting of of the mistakes he had made as a pack master, which he did. He is on redemption road and so is Sookie. They are actually a couple I've rooted for (although I also like Sookie-Eric quite a lot, just can't with Sookie-Bill for the love of god), and I think the circumstances in which they were brought together make 100% sense and are foreshadowed in the seaso 3 scene in which they say goodbye to one another and basically imply that they have a road to take individually (Bill and Debbie) but only if things were different and life was simpler they would be together. It won't last, sure, but it makes total sense and it gives a great new dynamic to the show IMO.
    - I've addressed your Lilith comment in a previous post.
    - I am with you on Sam, even though I think you are being a bit too hard. I think the change was way too drastic and I don't think we had enough foreshadowing at all unlike everything else that we saw post 6 months. I think there were some signs like Nicole wanting to go public as being the only way to save them all and he now trying to do something public as a way to save them all... But I still say it was too out of the blue for my taste, I agree with you. However, I don't have an impression of him openly hating the vamps as much as you suggest, he just didn't want association with them, am I confused?

    ReplyDelete
  94. I do not believe that Eric is dead. It would be a slap in the faces of the entire fandom to give an entire episode to mourn Terry and kill Eric without any ceremonies in one scene after showing is d*ck to the world. Besides, that thing of not knowing what to do with the character is bullshit, they can find something, especially on a true blood world where everything changes so quickly. He has interesting relationships with Pam, Willa, Sookie and Bill at the very least. That alone could be explored. I don't know how he has less storyline potential than most of the other characters on the show honestly.

    ReplyDelete
  95. He cannot be dead, for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  96. They won't kill off Eric, I think we don't need to stress ourselves out.

    ReplyDelete
  97. We will hear news long before one year. But he will not be dead, I am too optimistic to believe so.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I think they wouldn't risk the entire fandom reacting that way. He will be alive IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  99. THANK YOU! I subscribe 100% all these comments (except for Grandpa coming back all of the sudden, but ok). I loved the finale and really enjoyed the season! It was very effective and cleaned the show, which it needed badly!

    ReplyDelete
  100. You are jumping way ahead. Eric will not be dead. I might be biting my tongue a year from now but for now I refuse to believe they would be that stupid and kill him off. He will come back.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Really? That's interesting to hear and only goes to prove what I was saying that Eric will be back. Still, I think their ratings could be in trouble if they refuse to bring back Eric right away. But btw, what happened exactly? Did AS wanted ore time to do movies?

    ReplyDelete
  102. Yeah, I forgot to comment that I also liked that it was Jason who killed Warlow, good for him. But I disagree about Eric, I think he is still alive.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I agree that it would be a slap in the face especially after freaking Terry had gotten an entire episode dedicated to him and such a long exit storyline. But I think Eric is alive so the point is mute, I have to believe so.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I saw it and you exaggerate IMO. They don't even say he is dead, they just say he burns, which is playing with the words so that we can't call them liars later on. This only convinced me more that he will be back.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Excellent post and I agree with almost everything you've said, especially with really enjoying it and where it left things off and with Eric being alive 99% sure, if not for everything else because he would deserve way more than Terry. Also, "- Everyone seems to be back together, focused on one storyline, which the show sorely needs.", this 100% this and this again. It is what I liked the most about this season and about this finale in particular. I only disagree about Lafayette. I think he only works as a very supporting player - everytime that they've given him a storyline of his own it dragged, it had nothing to do with the main show and we all ended up hating it. He works this way IMO. Also, I don't want Tara too much back in Bon Temps as you wish. I used to hate her, and I rarely openly hate characters on my shows, but now I really like her in the vampire storylines.

    ReplyDelete
  106. This is my main argument for him being alive. This and the fact that TB would not be so stupid to do that with the fandom.

    ReplyDelete
  107. If they truly killed him off, I would also be offended with the way they did it. But I don't believe they did it.

    "No one is safe" should be handed down to the writer and producer and new show runner that allowed that crap of an series finale to leave the vault. Their lives should not be guaranteed and inside the episode trying to make us feel Bill was the hero of the year and oh how sorry he is and how he is trying to make amends. do you think Eric and Sookie viewers give a hoot about Bill he had 6 seasons to get his relationship right and each time he only found to really care or express his grattitude for Sookiw was when she was close to moving on and really Alcide who doesn't know if his three way resulted in him making a life is low. iI went into my bag of books and burned every Sookie stackhouse paper book I brought 5 in total to hand down to my teenaged daughter. CH, AB, and BB the FU they sent the Viking out on for Eric and Sookie fans proved we did not matter and every season they asked our opinion for it to fall into a burn barrel. Goodbye True Blood and the Anna Paquin Stephen Moyer show I wish you luck in the future

    ReplyDelete
  109. I don't know for certain. I just read it on one of the TB sites, whether his filming schedule got in the way, or the writers had this planned anyways is anyone's best guess IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Unless Pam is Lilith now...They made a point not to show her burn, or her in the six month later after math...

    ReplyDelete
  111. Even though it seemed sudden, I liked the Niall part because again there is a full circle thing going on. Warlow showed his true colors to Sookie which were much like that day he almost came through a portal in her bahroom, which is the portal Naill comes out of to help save them. + there are more wierd bathroom parallels as Jason fantasized about Warlow in his bathroom, Niall was sent back through a portal in Jason's bathroom, and now Jason kills Warlow in Sookie's bathroom! XD


    I don't like the Alcide thing, because I don't think he earned it. It also shows us Sookie just settled for second best and doesn't do the strong persona she had going any justice.


    Excellent point about Nicole and the idea of going public being the only way! I had not thought of that at all! -But I still feel like we are missing things from six month jump. I never said he hated vamps, just I was surprised that something like this would be his idea, because he's been skeptical about close relationships with them in the past. It just felt like he was trying to sell a lie to me, much like the flash back from season 3 or 4 where he was conned after thinking he another girl were conning, then she and her husband/boyfriend both end up dead, because Sam looses it.

  112. Antoinette Grant20 August 2013 at 00:58

    I'm Missouri I pay my way just like everyone else my predictions for next season Sookie will return toBill, Eric and Pam will come back in just enough time to help out Bon Temps, Tara will get Hep v Willa will find someone nice to help protect maybe she is the Jason triangle. Sookie will treat Eric like gum on the bottom of her shoes on a hot summer day. Bill will write a book taking credit for Eric's accomplishments getting him to home base

    ReplyDelete
  113. Thanks! I definitely agree Lafayette works better as a supporting player, but I don't recall him having any dialogue in this episode at all. I definitely don't want another big story for him like the whole brujo/demon thing, but just going back to being supporting, but still relevant, like in season 1-2.


    As for Tara, I like her as a vampire too, I just want her to have some more scenes with her friends and family like Lafayette, Sookie etc. She felt kinda superfluous this season when she was just sitting around in Vamp Camp not doing anything.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I don't think so. The character comes with a prophecy, one that viewers thus far don't know if it was realized or not. When it gets down to it, we don't know what Lilith sought through Bill. What the goal or larger picture was. Was it to fight/payback Warlow? Was it for Vamps to walk in the sun? Was it fight Sarah Newlin? Was it to create Hep V and a Vampire Apocalypse? Did Bill fail or succeed?


    One thing I noticed from the finale was that we did not see Pam during the time where Lilith's powers are diminishing when everyone else starts to burn from the sun. I had wondered, given that she left to seek Eric, that if perhaps Lilith just switched hosts?? (and that is how Eric will be saved).


    If this was resolved, then we should of had confirmation from Lilith that she was either moving onto the next phase or that her plans failed. We had neither, only that the Sirens were about to reclaim Bill after he let the others feed on him being close to death himself. Was this because he fulfilled the prophecy or because he failed it, or neither? Did Warlow need to be alive for Lilith's prophecy to continue???


    Additionally we don't have any real proof that God made her the first Vampire, but what is suspicious is the possible tie backs to everything that Violet may represent. In other posts, I had mentioned that I wonder if next season will have a lot of season 4 parallels because this episode had a time jump and 'walking dead' like sanario....Violet is Medieval and some weird brand of Catholic...she reminds me of both Lilith and Antonia. (and that season was also about mediums and ancient persecution). I have to wonder if it's any coincidence that she is here now and/or that she chose Jason...

    ReplyDelete
  115. I agree it was toned downed, which I think made it better, because it didn't feel so forced. I probably could have done without the lengthy Violet/Jason scene in this one, but I guess they have to make up for lost sex-scene time!!

    ReplyDelete
  116. It's one of my favorites too, but I love season 4!!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Thanks anyway, it does make sense

    ReplyDelete
  118. - Nice point about the bathroom, I hadn't thought about it! Makes more sense though! Still say that him coming back was too sudden and convenient, but as I had said, it is not a big deal anyway.
    - As for Alcide, I understand your point about him being very flawed, but IMO, that is exactly why we are seeing her with him and not with Sam. They even included the Sookie-Sam scene two episodes ago to remind us of that. She did settle for second best yeah, but in a way, he was also settling for second best because he was very much on redemption part and that is why it was acceptable for her to settle as well - her using him is justified. That's my interpretation anyway ;)
    - Oh I agree with you that there is still something missing about Sam. Whether it is bad writing or whether it will be explored next season it remains to be seen!

    ReplyDelete
  119. I really find the Warlow thing strange, not that I didn't wonder if a bad side would come out at some point, but they worked so hard at making him likable and teasing us with a Vampre-Faery Sookie, that I think it's sad that he's just gone! I saw a great deal of potential, but I can deal with it because of the circleness of it. (I almost wondered if one show runner just snuffed out the other's work, just because!! XD)


    Jason's story was fun, but I have liked Andy all along. Perhaps in season 5 he didn't have that much to do, but season 5 seems to be a bridging season and in some ways the weakest. (although I found it much better back to back than week at a time viewing)


    I like Adaliane too! (I also like Willa a lot--kind of surprised we didn't get a reaction about her father's death...Bill's book kind of gave it away)

    ReplyDelete
  120. Both fair points ;) I think that if not done in exaggeration, both could work. For me it is just a personal thing because I would much rather have more screen tie on Eric, Pam, Sookie, Jason, Jessica, Sam, Alcide than Lafayette&Tara, hence me not caring so much and being satisfied with this season. But I understand you wanting a bit more.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Fair points, I understand where you are coming from and yeah, I see why you say there was not enough resolution in there. I had already seen that Pam theory floating around. It would definitely give them a way off to save Eric, that's for sure.



    Now that I think about it, I think it is possible that since Eric was instrumental in saving the vampire race, Lilith really did transfer to Pam so that she could save Eric, thus rewarding him for saving the vampire race. I would like that.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Season 4 is my least favorite to be honest. Season 5 had a lot of things I liked such as the bromance between Eric and Bill, the origins of vampires, Pam's backstory, etc. Season 4 I just couldn't deal with Lafayette and Jesus being so front and center and with the amount of Tara we got. I liked the main storyline and loved Eric-Sookie and Jason-Jessica, as well as Pam, but the rest was annoying me. Andy was also terrible on that one. Can't really recall what Alcide and Sam were up to. It is a shame because the witches storyline in itself was cool and Fiona was very good in her role. But it also bugged me that Sookie, as a fairie, was never more firmly connected to it all. Also, it was, IMO, the peak of True Blood's biggest problem which is having too many storylines. That was the worst year in those regards as far as I remember.

    ReplyDelete
  123. - The Warlow thing is definitely strange, if for no other reason for the fact that they have worked so hard on changing our mind as you've said. I was honestly really digging his character. But it doesn't bug me too much.
    - My problem with Andy was that he got too much screentime for his own good in past seasons when that screentime didn't correlate at all with the main storyline. I liked him in season 1, then it started getting very annoying. This year it was back to being good because it was tied to the main story.
    - I REALLY like Willa! I forgot to say it, but she was an awesome addition to this season and to that ever growing vampire family!

    ReplyDelete
  124. As you said to each their own, I just always tend to like paranormal stuff. It was a little wierd because before the season started I decided to finally read something Charlene Harris, but I decided to hold of on TSVMS until TB is finished, and I read The Harper Conley Mystery Series (which is a paranormal series about a telepathic that can sense dead bodies whe she walks over a grave after being struck by lighting, -and makes a living out of it!!) In like the third episode of season 4 there was Sookie reading the same seriesXD


    I also liked the Jesus and Laffeyette story line. I miss Jesus.


    I agree though that season 5 had a lot of fun things. I liked The Authority stuff a lot, but I just felt it wasn't very character driven. And everyone was separated for long periods of time.

  125. Antoinette Grant20 August 2013 at 02:39

    In reply to Omabin, we the Eric and Sookie supporters have been sucker punched for 6 seasons and it always lead up to Sookie and mofo n Bill. Did you not see the goo goo eyes that she gave Bill throughout the finale, if you did I'm glad we are talking about the same show? As for Eric being 10 steps away from danger with a quick escape route plan it was not funny he got literally got caught with his pants down. If Pam does save him I will forever see the replay of life's dumbest moves in my mind. I can't cancel HBO because I have a family that watch different shows. Sookie will forever see Bill as the hero of vamp camp and will never know who saved her brother nor will she care . "No one lives forever". Needs to be extended to BB, and any writers and producers that wrote and produced anything after episode 1. Nuke the show and come back five years from now with a spinoff The MO FO N VIKING

    I hope i'm paranoid and they leave Tara be. In the books the more Sookie was around other fairies the more fey she became. oh and what about evil vamps (not zombie vamps) turning Sookie in a vamp so they can drink her blood and then locking her up or protecting her so they can stay daywalkers. muhahaha.

  129. Have you read the TVLine interview with Brian Buckner? It (thankfully) tells us that AS will be back and a regular next year, plus he suggests that it was Pam who saved Eric. I think his schedule interfered with this season finale actually, which is why he was only in one scene that left his fate in the air - he may not have signed on for season 7 until after.

  135. Ohhh. Ok so you're suggesting it's probably a lower dosage of Hep V in the True Blood or even possibly a mutation? That would make sense. Well I don't think the people at Vamp Camp thought that through.

  136. I would hope not. But geez what are they trying to do give us a heart attack? I'm over it now, But ugh. i just really didn't like the finale at all.

    ReplyDelete
  137. They killed Eric, the best character they ever wrote for the show. Technically, we did not see him turn into that vampire goo thing they are reduced to when they die, but considering he's a thousand years old and the wide shot showed us there was pretty much nothing in the way of shelter for thousands of miles, I would say he's as good as dead unless there is some sort of deus ex machina event that we don't know of yet.

    When I saw that scene, I did think, if he realized it soon enough, he could somehow bury himself deep within the snow to shelter himself from sunlight. Perhaps that's the only way he could have saved himself if he comes back.

    I think she married him to be the preacher's wife, not because of love and respect. so as long as nobody knows what she did she would still be an important public figures wife. but they managed to make tara fun to watch so maybe it's a way for sookie to have a reason to look for a cure. fairy style?

  140. Idk about the book cuz i can't see it clearly. All i can see is that it could be a german book cuz the title seems to start with a "die" or "der" (the/that) and the last word could be "Leben" (that means life) + the initial letters from the name of the author look like H and S.. Sorry,that this isn't much help.
    Maybe you can see more.
